I always run into these names that in my opinion could be used more prominently then what they are currently used for (not including parked domain names - they don't count) and I find it annoying.
Here are two I just ran into, I'll post more here as I remember/find them:
I agree. I've seen some really crap sites on great domain names. The reason for this is probably because they're working for people, but they probably dont realize they could be so much more.
Premium domains are typically much older, so theyre getting a lot of google love if they have sites on them. Google = Traffic, and they're probably satisfied with what theyre getting. Just a theory of course.
I've often come across what I think is a great domain name, check if it's available and it's just an apache success page, a directory listing or just parked!
Just recently came across information.com. regged since 1994.
what a premium name! but highly under utilised IMHO.
could think of a million reasons to use it, wish I owned it
